Dude, long time! You still plugging away for a contractor? I know you wanna brown up and get to take out routes with 265 stops 455 pieces like I did a couple days ago.

They aren't even delivering all of their OWN packages, yet!

What about the 43 pound bags of Scott's Turfbuilder, when there is a Lowe's and Home Depot within five miles of their house?

Hey man. Yup, still at my DSP. How are things going for you at UPS? Honestly, if they make us drive step vans I might look elsewhere. Amazon pay is mediocre and the only reason I'm staying here is that it's very chill. Listen to audio books and deliver to 95 percent houses in a small van with mostly light packages. I'm not even getting apartments these days.
I'm just not sure I have the right personality for UPS. I'm the type of person who easily gets stressed if management starts bitching. Money would be great but I don't deal with conflict very well.

There are AMZ straight trucks running around already. Keep in mind they are delivering their own product.
There's something a lot of people don't seem to understand about Amazon Delivery. They only deliver stuff that is actually sold by Amazon. 80% of the stuff on Amazon's website is sold by 3rd party vendors, and they still handle their own shipping, through us, FedEx or USPS.

Where did you get this info from? I mean it makes sense, I'm just curious how you found out. I used to wonder why I would have all kinds of Amazon stops and then when I arrive at the stop, there are already 2 or 3 Amazon packages there.
From a friend that owns a small business and sells some stuff on Amazon.
The exception to what I said, according to him, are packages that say "fulfilled by Amazon" on them. These are products that are sold by 3rd Parties that have a contract with Amazon to store their products in Amazon warehouses.
